Yes or no I use to say it was bad uga booga to do Sunday readings & now I can't change my mind about it. I feel like I'm changing karma if I start now. (Darn those thoughts, I'm really not religious )lol I think it's a yes for everyone else.

I'm not Christian so Sunday's just another day. Love and light Sulis xx

Ros, How about pulling just one card on Sundays...just to start out. See how it makes you feel. Then eventually you can progress with more readings. :)

What is it that makes you feel bad about it? If you examine why, that's a start! The one card draw mentioned by Jen may be a good start, if you want to read on Sundays...

It's not anything really, I guess I just thought it was one of the rules many years ago &stuck with it. I just figure if Sunday is a day of rest, that's the day to bring your energy together (or settle your energy). The energy that helps you do readings. I really don't know.

I don't have a problem with Sunday readings myself. It's never even crossed my mind to question that. We all have different ideas about such things. I used to have a ritual every night for which I had to check the lock on the front door 7 times. If anything interupted my count, I would start over. Now that is weird. hehe Anyhoo, it passed. I'm not sure when, but I guess at some point I stopped feeling the need to do that and just quit. As long as what you're doing feels right and doesn't hurt anyone, more power to you. :)

O.K. thanks for the replys I'll start reading Sundays. If anything happens I'll be looking you all up.LOL (just kidding) "The Mind is a terrible Master but a terrific Servant"

My mom was raised Catholic, and held to that belief as well. When I lived with her a couple years a go, I respected her wishes and didn't conduct any readings or do anything else tarotwise on Sundays. I personally don't differentiate, but it is not an unheard of ritual to abstain from anything divinatory on Sundays. I think there is mention of this in the book to the "Russian Gypsy Fortunetelling Cards." :)

Alissa sings, "Sunday morning is every day for all I care ..." For me, Fridays are holy days to Hindus, but are not considered days of rest, even so. But... What's more important than days of the week is : if you feel you're ready to switch paradigms, you can do it. :) Don't let emotional decision making stop you from being who or what you want to be. It sounds like you just need a good reason to believe in yourself, to let go of the ooga booga. So :D believe it!!! If you want to read on a Sunday, just do it. If you don't, don't. That's how I see it anyhow.

As I am an allday-anytime reader I don't bother about readings on Sunday. Just do what feels right for you.

I am a Christian and I feel it is okay to do readings on Sunday. In fact, is alright to communicate with God anytime. I believe he is open 24 hours a day! What better day than to speak to God!

I think that Sunday is as good as any other day to come into contact with ones higher self.

I was bought up in a household that wouldn't touch a pack of cards on a Sunday - I think it was more about the gambling and superstition. I don't have a problem with using my cards on a Sunday now but at first I did, It did feel like it was wrong but its just another day now and to be honest most of my readings are done on a Sunday because its quiet and I can concentrate.

Diana	20 Nov 2003
I have never believed that supersition and Tarot fit together. And not reading on a Sunday, or a Monday, or on Christmas day or whatever, would to me be in the range of superstition.
